Nunca, en- mejor OCCASION, pudo
salir a luz, nj nunca con mas opor-
ltunidad pudo darse a la estampa
esa obra patri6tica.
Aunque en- la conciencia de to-
dos y de cada uno estan vivas las
tendencias 6 ideales que persigue
ese partido autonomista, aunque
nadie ignora el fin de esa tenaz
propaganda, porque precise fuera
que estuvi9ramos muertos para no
sentir sus efectos, cuando hasta en-
ell aire que lleva la vida q nuestros
pulmOnes palpitan en- suspense ex-
halaciones corruptas, que, al satu-
rar nuestra sangre, infaman nues.
tro coraz6n con la llama del amor
dc los amores: del amor por la
Patria, en- las actua;es y an6malas
circunstancias es de un valor Y de
un interes inapreciable la publica-
ci6n de ESQ folleto.
Si los hombres de buena fe, los
hombres honrados, los hombres
que todo 10 esperan de la paz y de
la tranquilidad del pals, no olvi-
daran, como con harta frecaencia
sucede, las lecciones de la expe-
riencia, los hechos hist6ricos, no
Sc dejarfan arrastar jamas por las
impresiones del mOmento, no Sc
verfan sorprendidos en- sus GREEN
cias nj en- sus prop6sitos, pero des-
graciadamente la memoria es 1aca
Y ell oleaje de hoy bora de la playa

y de oleaje en- oleaje, de impression

piqueta que la civilizaci6n ha pues-
to en- nuestras manos para desen-
terrar, de las arenas que acumula-
ra ell olvido, ell tesOro de los he
chos hist6ricos.
Lo escrito, escrito esta; y este
no 10 puede borrar nj la natura-

El Sr. Caneja copia, en- su folle-
tO, con mucho tino, aquellas triste-
mente c5lebres palabras, dichas
en- esOs momentos en- que ell pen
samiento arrebatado por los senti-
mientos que bullen SO atropellan
en- el coraz6n, pronunciara en- un
meeting autonomista un personaje
importante de ese partido; las
cuales reproducimos:
(Aquf sigue el parrafo que copia.)
Felicitamos al Sr. Oaneja, nues-

pro de la santa causa del derecho,
de la justicia y de la patria
Nadie que de espafol Sc precie

The Effect Of High License On Saloons in
Connecticut.

The agitation of the prohibitionists,
particularly of the Womens' Christian
Temperance association, which sent q
perfect avalanche of bills to the tenn
perance committee of the legislature
last winter, resulted in securing an in
crease OF from 800 to $3.50 for licenses
making the price $500. The advocates
of high license, who have insisted that
high license would reduce the number
of places where liquor is sold, have
peen anxiously awaiting the effect of
the increased price. All licenses ex
pired on Nov. /, and since that time
the county commissioners OF the sever
al counties to grant the new licenses.
The falling off in the number of
applications has been surprise even
to the most ssnguine high-license ad-
vocates. In small towns at least one
third of the sellers have not asked for
renewals, and these towns have receiv-
ed greatly increase d revenue, though
having a less number of saloons.
In the city of New Haven fifty more
retailers have decided not to apply for
renewals, and in Hartford and other
cities of the state there has been simi-
lar falling off. 1t is thought that
some of the small dealers will try to
sell without license, but the prosecut-
ing attorneys, backed up by dealers
who have paid for the privilege of sell
ing, will crush out promptly all illegal
traffic.

A Mothers Dream Realised.
HER BABE BURNED TO DEATH AS PrcruR
ED IN HER SLEEP.

Mrs. Jacob Condor, living . few
miles frcm Reed, Pa. dreamed a few
nights ago that her yearold baby was
burned to death, and that she sent
word of the burning to her husband,
who was working at distance from
home, by james Portlewaith, neigh
Dor. The next morning she told her
husband of her dream. She was de-
spondent but he laughed at her fears
aud went away to his work. Late in
the forenoon Mrs. Condor left her
kitchen to go to the woodshed q few
steps away.
While she was there she heard her
baby screaming. She ran into the
house and found the child lying in
front of an open CRATE, wrapped in
flames. The mother threw an old
coat about the child and smothered the
flames, bat it was so badly burned that
it died in few minutes. As Mrs.
Condor went to the door to call for
assistance James Portlewaith was pass
ing the gate and she sent him to her
husband with the dreadful news.
Everybody up here is talking abou
the remarkable story.

A Novel Business Calendar and Stand,

A most novel, convenient, aud val
liable business calendar for 1883 is the
Columbia Bicycle Calendar and Stand,
Just issued by the Pope Mfg. Co., OF
Boston, Mass. In this calendar new
departure has been made, decidedly
unique and different from any previous
attempt in calendar construction. The
calendar proper is in the form of pad,
containing 366 leaves, one for each
day in the year, to be torn off daily.
The leaves are 81 by "a inches, and a
portion of each leaf is lett blank for
memoranda,so arrange that the mem.
Io'andun blank for any coming day
can be turned to Immediately at any
time. The pad rests upon portable
stand, and when placed upon the desk
or writing-table the entire surface OF
the date leaf is brought directly, and
left constantly, before the eye, furnish
ing date and memoranda, impossible
TO be overlooked. Upon each slip
appear, as in the previous Columbia
calendars, quotations pertaining to
cycling from leading publications and
prominent writers. The paragraphs
are entirely new from previous years
calendars, and although there seems to
be bat little when read from day to
day, altogether the items would make
a medium sized pamphlet, and, added
TO the collection of other years, a largt
volume--a collection OF quotations
which illustrate the popularity and uui
versatility of cycling the world over.

Horrible Tragedy at Sea.
CAPTAIN TAYLOR ROBBED AND MURDERED
by HIS MEN ON A SINKING VESSEL.


Captain Walton, of the schooner G.
G. Cranmer, which arrived at Phila-
delphia last Friday from Norfolk, SAID
that last Sunday morning fifty miles
east-southeast Of Cape Henlopen, bis

waterlogged schooner d. g. E. Kelly.
The mate and two sealnen If the Gran

Taylor, her master, lying under the
lazarette with fnger-marks on his
throat and several deep and ugly
gashes on his head. His pockets ha1
been ransacked, turned inside out and
torn, and Dothing but an old tow bill
was found in them. His pistol was
lying on the quarter deck with one
chamber empty.

Five Female Voters Indicted

The grand jury at Lockport, N. Y.
presented FIVE indictments against as
many ladies who voted at the recent
state and county election. Mrs. Martha
Lane, Mrs. Matilda Fox, Mrs. Nancy
McCollum and Miss Carrie McCollum
were arraigued separately, and each
iuterposed a demurrer to the indictment.
The counsel for the ladies is Hon.
John Z Pound, who helped prosecute
Susan B. Anthony in Rochester some
time since. The announcement Of the
action of the grand jury created no
little excitement, and the result is
anxlously looked forward to. The
ladies were all earnest prohibition
workers and voted the straigh. prohi-
bition ticket.

A Muoh- Needed Rule.

President Cleveland's refusal at the
close of the last session of Congress to
sign appropriation and other important
bills which he had not been given time
to examine promises to bear good fruit.
The House Committee on Rules has
under consideration an amendment TO
existing regulations which provides
that all general appropriation bills
shall be reported at stated date suf-
ficiently early in the session to give
both branches of Congress and the
Executive opportunities to deal with
them properly.
It is not improbable that the House
will adopt measure of this description,
Mr.. McCreary, of Kentucky, who ad
vocatas it, asserts that such rule pre-
vailed in the House from 1887 to 1880
when for some unexplained reason it
wss dropped. This will in measure
prevent the congestion Of bills demand
ing action which occurs at the close of
a Congr 'ssional term, and it would be
well if further preventives of the evil
were provided.
At the time when the President de-
clined to follow the custom that had
prevailed and convert himself into
mere signing. machine be was severely
criticised for permitting certain meas
ures to lapse. It was charged that he
was stopping needed improvements,
blocking the wheels of things, etc.
The fact is, however, that he has assert

Executive Office and evinced proper
appreciation of its responsibilities. He
has taught needed and salutary les
SON.
Congress has no right to crowd in
upon him within a few honrs or days
more business than any human being
can possibly attend to. 1t was much
better that he should call its attention
to this fact in a thoroughly practical
way than to permit the evil to continue.
